Efficacy of Nano-Curcumin and Nano-Hyaluronic Acid as an Adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing in the Treatment of Periodontitis
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
curcurmin loaded on chitosan nano-particles: the formulation of curcumin and incorprating it with chitosan nano-particles will increase the absorption rate in the gingival sulcus
hyaluronic acid loaded on chitosan nano-particles: the formulation of hyaluronic acid and incorprating it with chitosan nano-particles will increase the absorption rate in the gingival sulcus
scaling and root planning: the -ve control group in the study
chitosan nano-particles: the +ve control group in the study
Study summary
to evaluate Efficacy of Locally Applied Nano-Curcumin and Nano-Hyaluronic Acid as an Adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing in the Treatment of Periodontitis patients
Materials and methods: forty patients (n=40) were selected from the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, The participants forty patients are classified into four groups:
* Group1 : (-ve control group): SRP alone
* Group2: (+ve control group): SRP+ chitosan Nano-particles
* Group3: SRP + Curcumin-coated chitosan Nano-particles
* Group4: SRP+ hyaluronic acid -coated chitosan Nano-particle
All Patients will undergo Phase I therapy, which includes scaling and root planing using ultrasonic tips and gracey curettes. Additionally, mechanical oral hygiene instructions will be provided, and participants will be advised to refrain from using any mouthwash throughout the duration of the study.
Furthermore, patients within groups 2 to 4 will be subjected to an extra measure involving the application of the respective gel associated with their designated group. The gel will be administered on a weekly basis for duration of five weeks.
Clinical indices (plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), clinical attachment level (CAL), and probing depth (PD)). Laboratory assessment will be done at baseline and final assessment( after 3 months) . tess will be for antioxdiant levels and TNF alpha
* Total anti-oxidant capacity(T-AOC) using Assay kit50T
* TNF alpha using ELISA Kit (96T)
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Probing pocket depth reduction — 12 weeks
pocket depth is calculated using a UNC 15 perio probe to calculate the distance between the base of the pocket to the free gingival margin
